Tom Coughlin will sign a one-year extension with the Giants, keeping him under contract through 2016.

The Giants have a long-standing policy of not letting their head coach go into a season as a "lame duck." So Coughlin will get another year tacked on to his deal, the exact same move the organization executed with him last year. Regardless, Coughlin needs to get the Giants back to the playoffs for the first time since 2011 if he wants any kind of real job security. Feb 23 - 12:26 PM

The New York Daily News reports the Giants will soon sign coach Tom Coughlin to a "short" extension.

This will prevent Coughlin from entering 2015 as a contract-year "lame duck." Coughlin signed a one-year extension around this same time last year. The new deal figures to be similar. The Giants' offense got steadily better under first-year OC Ben McAdoo over the course of 2014, and they'll hope new DC Steve Spagnuolo can fix their defense. Coughlin turns 69 this August.

Coughlin has gone 22-26 over the last three seasons, failing to make the playoffs each year. But the Giants were able to finish strong once again this season, winning three of their final four games on the backs of Eli Manning and Odell Beckham. Coughlin, 68, clearly has more leash than most NFL coaches because he's won two Super Bowls for the Giants. But anything short of a playoff berth in 2015 should be the end of his run. There's no word yet on the fate of DC Perry Fewell, who may end up taking the fall here. Mon, Dec 29, 2014 11:55:00 AM

The New York Post reports there's a "99.9 percent" chance Tom Coughlin remains the Giants' head coach in 2015.

With the Giants on a two-game win streak and sitting at 5-9, Coughlin's odds of keeping his job have increased the past couple weeks after it was guesstimated his chances of coming back were 50-50 last month. If 68-year-old Coughlin is back as the Giants' head coach, we'd expect the higher-ups to force his hand with coaching staff changes -- particularly DC Perry Fewell. Mon, Dec 15, 2014 09:57:00 AM

Victor Cruz (knee) has avoided the PUP list to begin training camp, but will be "eased in."

Cruz has made surprisingly-fast progress since tearing his patellar tendon last Week 6, and is tentatively expected to play in the preseason. He should be ready to go for Week 1. With Odell Beckham established as one of the best wideouts in the NFL, Cruz is no longer a WR1/2, but checks in as an upside WR3.

Harris was waived by the Giants on Wednesday and will revert to their IR list once he's not claimed. The former UFL and AFL journeyman also landed on IR before last season started due to a shoulder injury.
